We talked a lot about the new groundbreaking Ayes Oko app in July, so we thought that for August we should go outside and give it a spin! Oko is a new iPhone app specifically for pedestrian navigation that gives you turn-by-turn walking directions and lets you know when it’s safe to cross the street. In this session, we’re going out for a walk around midtown Toronto to play with Oko. Join us as we explore and see how to use this exciting new app. Be sure to bring your iPhone! Friday, August 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the CNIB GTA Community Hub.
